When he notices Tachibana by the corner, standing there.
I would've said, "Then he notices Tachibana by the corner. Just standing there. Menacingly."
Isaac the Worship Warrior ha
@@Nicknock-rw4go there used to be a TH-cam video where it showed that Spongebob clip, and it had the Blade and Garren helmets pasted over Spongebob and Patrick's faces.
I don't think it's up any more but if he had done it like that, I would've been so happy lol
It’s the biggest meme in existence
Also you offended me blades helmet is the best
@@ianjones8884 you talking about me or Marco's? Because I didnt say anything about the helmet.
i have to say: blade is like the most darkest rider ever, also that part of kenzaki live forever, in the novel he experiences every war 300 years after the series as a war photographer, the dark part is that he want to kill himself because of the things he have seen, dude kenzaki's ending is tragic.
where can i read the novel?
@@rudys.artous5477 kenzaki is similar to cure sword form precure , just like emu being similar to cure lovely
@@saiyautang4088 uhmm why did you reply with something that is not relating to my question?
@Bobo Boy I hate dark stories
Now said novel is a AU timelime
I cried as well watching the final episode of Blade... it's so impactful to me. Another rider that I'm so hyped about to feature or returning in any movies or series apart from Tsukasa Kadoya.
He became more cold and badass in Kamen Rider Decade especially since he can easily access his final form, King Form, without transforming into his base form first. He literally demolishes Tsukasa upon meeting him and I bet that was the Joker version of Kenzaki from the non-canon light novel of Kamen Rider Blade.
MARCOSATSU-SAN, WHY AM I WATCHING YOU
*Insert Tachibana Screaming here*
Are you really a traitor?
UWAAAAAaaaAaaAaaaAaaaAAAA!!!
KARA MISO
yunlien HENSHIN!
I like the ending. Kenzaki was too OP and paid the consequences. Also he walked the talk rather than just spewing his ideals when it came to it.
Why does this season have the best memes?
TACHIBANA-SAN!!! TACHIBANA-SAN!!!
*grasp hand* SAYOKOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Ex Aid had the best memes.
@@interius8635 lol Ex-Aid memes are funny but Blade memes are heavenly
@@bryanlei1983 How can you say Blade's memes are heavenly when Ex-Aid's most memes come from the lord of memes, Dan Kuroto Shin/Shin Dan Kuroto?
@@interius8635 Kuroto memes eventually became cancerous, while Blade memes are still super funny.
What happened to Kenzaki in the end definitely reminds you of Kota in Gaim. He uses the power to the point he no longer becomes human. But the key point in Blade is both jokers had their humanity intact, it was just a battle for survival. In Gaim it was a battle of ideology, a literal war that could have been easily dismissed.
to me, what set blade's ending apart, is because, the implications are palpable, no matter who it is, when you watch the series, ang get that ending, you understand why his sacrifice was so hard to make, the ending delivers on the fact that his future will be bleak, and what he did, will end badly. and yet, that was the ending he chose.
@@marcosdheleno tachibana appear in fourze
At least Kouta has a goddess sugar momma and a planet.
@@firebrand723 And Kenzaki get nothing but depression,he is definitely way more tragic
I was in Japan the year Kamen Rider Blade was airing. It was the first time I got to experience a Kamen Rider show in its originality, I had knowledge of Kamen Rider already but only through what I was able to find on the Internet at the time. I was already a fan, yet when I saw the battle and the "Zero Blade Brave" intro began to play I asked myself: "Am I watching what I think I am watching"!?!?!? I almost cried manly tears when I saw the title itself (same experience when I saw Dekaranger for the first time that same day). I'm glad you did this review Marcosatsu. It was a nice stroll down memory lane.
The final episode of kamen rider blade to me is the most beautiful ending ever because unlike hero who live/die/last one standing we got a hero who sacrificed his humanity for humanity it's like a darker version of a happy ending just simply a pure ending right there
The melancholy is simply peak.
Blade was a good season. My biggest issue is with how Kazuma becomes in some of the follow up material: in a Blade Novel, he has become more cynical, forgetting that he sacrificed his humanity for his friend to have a normal life. He even became more bitter in the Super Sentai crossover with Ex-Aid.
He became an undead, he lost his humanity.
@@thanoskitsos5710 yeah, I just don't like how bitter he became.
And this also applies to ZI-O'blade arc
It ruined the original purpose,but at least it have a good ending
i mean what did you expect for living forever people are going to be bitter even if the reason why is good
Chalice has a nice trivia hidden in his name: sure, the heart is in the shape of a cup, but Cup, Sword, Gold and Clubs are the seed of neapolitan card, and it preludes to the substantial difference
between him and the other 3 riders
Here's a trivia for you: Cup of Ace. Hajime rider form is a sign of compassion and love. Should that cup of Ace reverse, it means you repress your emotion against the outside world. Gee why is this sound so familiar.
I remember this one. For some weird reason, when they re-air this show in Malaysia, half of the episode use Eng dub intesd of Malay dub
is everyone still remembers about Japanese Blade emotions?

Fast forward to zi-o 😂 final Heisei Rider
If you want the ending ruined: watch the Ghost/Blade stage show. Yes. That is actually real.
I just watched it after finding this comment. Wow, that was awful. But hey, Kenzaki used Magnet and Stop for the first time ever, and that was neat.
Non-canon
Anyone else notice the connection between the Rider's names and their card suit representation?
Blade comes from the spade suit representing swords/pikes and medieval armies.
Chalice comes from the heart suit representing the cups and chalices of royalty.
A Leangle comes from the club suit represents the clubs peasants used and a Leangle is a type of Aboriginal club.
The only one I can't make sense of is Garren, the diamond suit is meant to represent coins and riches but I can't find what Garren means.
Garren is probably a corruption of galleon which is a kind of gold coin
Garren is a corruption of Galleon, which was a type of cargo ship with guns mounted on it, thus giving him a loose connection to both what his suit (as in, suit of cards) means and also why he's a gunslinger (one because cargo ships carried lots of stuff including coins and riches, and the other because Galleons had canons)
Though, I do want to admit that this might be a stretch
I'm starting to wish Garren and Leangle got actual King forms on screen, and that Chalice and Leangle got actual Jack forms too. (Chalice's Wild form counts as a King form, right?)
Brian Sanders can he do history of kiva BEACUSE it is Halloween
That would be good timing, but would it be ready in time if he started on it right now?
Only in SIC, though~
I'mma be honest leangle was hella useless
Yep..chalice use king card to turn wild form
We're here at the end of the Heisei era. I watched this whole video, and I have to say, although I dislike the suit, Zi-O, thank you for sealing Blade and Chalice's powers so they can live as normal human again.
Honestly when I went back and watched the entirety of Blade, the latter half and ending was amazing. Great video for this awesome series, I enjoy how you pace your thoughts throughout, although I also think it could've been done a bit more. Regardless, thanks for looking into the history is another amazing series and amazing ending.
the real ending is in Kamen rider zi-o. How both Hajime and Kenzaki turn back into normal human and the battle royal ended. P/s: amane -chan is there too
Kamen Rider Blade never caught me like other seasons and it was the first time I felt my interest waiver in a season (even with how much I didn't like Agito I still wanted to see the stories of the G3 unit and Gils enough that I never felt like just moving on to the next season). The beginning was not great and the lack of a central villian plus the multiple plots that just died suddenly didn't help and while I was interested in some of the character stuff it just felt like we were stalling for time or going in circles a lot. But that ending... it is one of the most heartbreaking endings in anything and it is why I will always recommend this series to others. It has its issues and I may not want to go back and watch it any time soon, but the journey is worth it.
I also almost cried at the end of this series. The first time I watched it I was stunned at the ending. In my opinion I don't know if there ever will be another KR series that will have this powerful of an ending . There are other KR series that had a similar effect on me ( KR OOO the last episode and KR W the episode before the last) but didn't pull that trigger like blade did. I want to add a note that blade also did something that I don't think another KR series has done, in that the final form actually has an effect on the rider. I really like that Blade King Form (one of my favorite final forms) has a downside to it. It may be an imperfect series, but definitely a top KR series in many regards. Now I need to watch the history of KR Ryuki, like blade one of my favorite KR series.
I can agree with the first half of blade having a rough start, the show was still trying to find its footing and it took a different production team to do it I guess. I still like the first part of blade regardless of the silly moments. Lol
same here.
Kamen Rider Chalice is my favorite rider here, because of the overall backstory and his rider suit which is an imitation of an Ace undead and,the suits design accomodating the poker suit of hearts and red is also my favorite and symbolic color. Also because amongst the main riders he is the only undead there.
Leangle is my favourite
Leangle is my favourite
So glad I actually watched the whole series before watching this...history of a video of Blades. Definitely one of my favourites if not my favourite. Thank you for the video, very enjoyable.
I love the music you played during the summary of Blade's ending. Even if your description didn’t do the finale justice, I'd say the music does. However, this could just be my adoration for Breath of the Wild's soundtrack talking (typing?).
Though I have not seen the series but saw it's movie, the legend of Blade inspired me to write my own adaptation of this Kamen Rider.
I don't know if I wrote this before, but I'm actually ok with Blade's suit design.The curved beetle horn actually fits very well with the flat spade symbol on Blade's chest.
Out of nowhere Woz came by and made an epilogue for Blade.
3:54
hes just standing there
menacingly!
I just can't help but love blade even with it's flaws, admittedly the story loses its footing for a bit but when it finds its excellent. I like all the main characters and can't say any of them truly annoyed me but yeah amane is the worst sometimes, I couldn't believe it when kotaro tried to warn them that hajime might be dangerous and she decided to blindly disown the uncle that had been there for her and her mom her whole life for the man renting the basement she had known for less than a year
you question the logic and maturity or lack thereof of a lovestruck 10 yr old girl? lol
@@budgiecat2885 the problem is Amane never got her character arc. In my opinion fourze have the best writing of teen / semi- young adult with attitudes, character can do stupid shit yes, but at least address their fault in some shape or form
@@huyvuminh1048 she did....in Zi-O lol
Also Fourze? lol the teens on that show dont even act human at times. (like the one that joined a cult in real life)
Tachibana comes back out of nowhere at the end of the series after the implication that he died right? Wrong! The Tachibana at the end is a Trial Undead in a similar fashion to Hirose's father!
Hype Install where's the source? Sorry I've never heard of that
@@Yurusan717 Just a personal theory, but I think it hold's some merit, aha
I could live with that theory. Seems plausible
@@cfsatuason1333You okay bud? It's a fan theory I never expected to receive comments on 2 years later. Learn to chill and have some fun with the media you watch mate lol
@@cfsatuason1333 it's just a fan theory chill yo
Kamenrider series usually have a sloppy ending, but blade's ending is actually a strong and good one, thats what makes blade one of my favourite
YOU JUST ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD!
I feel like Queen's Princes of the Universe would fit this season of kamen rider.
"From the dawn of time we came, moving silently through the centuries. Living many secret lives, struggling to reach the time of The Gathering, where the few who remain will battle to the last for The Prize. For in the end There Can Be Only One."
I enjoyed Blade. Kenzaki felt like a genuine hero, especially after the ending. I liked the other Riders too (although Mutsuki was hit or miss with me at times).
I love the Rider suits and some of the Undead ones. The ending helped seal the deal for me. I enjoyed the show up to that point (particularly the end game) but the ending left it on such a great note.
For me an ending can really effect how I look back on shows, because it's my last impression and last thought on that show. Which is why I like Blade but not Ryuki, or why I have mixed feelings about Evangelion (to use a none Rider example).
All in all, I would recommend Blade to others. Is it perfect? No. But does it have stuff worth watching it for? Definitely. It is a top 5 season for me, no doubt.
no rider series is perfect, no matter which series you look into, you will find heavy flaws that will make that series a hard no to ALOT of people.
Blade holds a special place with me, it was actually the first Kamen Rider show I watched. I watched this as a kid on DVD when they were being released, as well as played with the toys.
MrHappikabbage I love blade sword and cards
I watched Faiz prior to watching Blade. And half the reason why I watched Blade was so that I could watch this video and not have to worry about TV spoilers (I'll watch Missing Ace later).
But, anyways.
While watching Faiz, I noticed Takumi was kinda similar to Shinji from Ryuki. Except Takumi does open up a bit more and becomes less annoying as the season goes on. Then, watching Blade. I noticed that Kenzaki was also kind of similar to Takumi and Shinji. But, he more quickly starts making friends and having a more positive attitude.
Iow, I view Kenzaki's character as an evolution of sorts from Takumi (and thus Shinji as well).
There's a part of me that imagines that Kensaki just went to America afterwards and then he and Hajime just became penpals
Holy crap...this is amazing. KEEP EM’ COMING, MARCOS!!! These are awesome to the 1,000,000th degree!!
Sic did a great job with their concept figures
Leangles jack form and garrens king form hold up to the rest of the series. I even found an image of Leangle king form
42:38 "Kenzaki was in a porn"? Did I hear that right?
yes, he was in a gay porn, if im not mistaken.
What the..
Thats.......interesting i guess?
@@saiyautang4088 ha?
@@lunarwolf233 guess that's another 1 then
Oh hey, I was thinking about the next History of Kamen Rider. Great timing.
So Second rider gf get kill...
OK
Sayako !!!!!
ya know, the normal stuff
I recommend people look up the SIC figures for the Evolution King forms of Gurran and Leangle, some of the best armor designs ever for riders.
Garren King Form ? Please release the Complete Selection Modification for Garren Rouzer with Garren's King Form's plate for Absorb Rouzer. Please Bandai Premium.
*_T A C H I B A N A - S A N_*
I seriously didn't expect a meme heavy show like Blade to have such a sad and tragic ending. Believe it or not, this ending seriously almost made me cry. No other Toku show had ever some close to making me almost cry, not even when characters in Sentai die. Well first there was technically Kamen Rider The Next, but we no longer talk about that movie. This show, seriously, almost made me cry.
Does anyone else think that King Form looks like Black Luster Soldier
My favorite yugioh card of all time!!
31:03 ultraseven’s an undead?!!!? I thought he was an ultra
.....thats Ultraseven's actor
i remember watching Blade many years ago and the finale brought me to tears. Blade is pretty much my favorite...
This is why i love coming here and watch your videos. Cus you explain things about the series and even tell the plot that i get confuse at sometimes.
The ending is what made me love blade
the best part is all the foreshadowing, first we got the first arc with tachibana scared of that happening to him, then we get the reveal of hajime as the joker, and the implication, the sad thing is, they always knew that they would be forced to seal him, and yet, they kept going, and that final arc is just the cherry on top.
thank God I came across this and watch it. made me appreciate more Kamen Rider Blade 1 of my fav. And the ending wow. thank you for this Marcosatsu
I like how in Taisen GP, all of the Blade rider actors came back for the movie, so its literally a Kamen Rider Blade reunion. Though it's just annoying that "Tachibana-sah" is the only actor we see on screen, while the other 3 actors are only doing voice roles. I didnt know that until after I read the KR wiki. Leave a like if you guys noticed.
A beautiful history episode man, keep being the man who makes everyone's day when a new video is made
Thank you for this video. Ive struggled with the first half but now that i know it gets better i can force myself to watch it.
AAAAAAAAAAAAND HE SHOWED UP IN DECADE! ONORE DEKAIDOOOO!!! and thank you
Onore fourze
Onore captain marvelous
Onore decade
When I watch the final episode, I had a lot of questions. What happen to Kenzaki after the ending? What will become of Kenzaki's Joker form?
Will he and Hajime be able to fought with each other
I've been watching the final episode alot and it has full of mysteries
Next make history of Madan Senki RyuKenDo
3XtrEmE didn’t it only have like one or two shows? From what I can tell history of blank is for more longer running shows (such as power rangers). Not saying I don’t want it but it’s doubtful, especially with how long all this must take to make and script.
Nice idea, ossan!
Ohh ryukendo
Nice idea, great show
Thank you,very cool.
I agree
Thank you for a very in depth summary of blade
Second Rider avenging their dead girlfriend trope
On this Kamen rider series Tachibana has more character develop than the main protagonist.
Undead: Battle Royale *default dances*
10:27
....hahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That was to funny. No wonder it’s a meme
That tarzan yelling. am i right
@@sagara5293 even without the audio its still a meme because of the silly face expressions coupled with the slow zoom in effect
Finale a history of one of my favorite kamen riders, thank you Marcosatsu!
Typhloden Xyz I love blade suit it is blue and the cards are amazing , blade is the first main heisei rider to be blue the second blue color main rider is gaim
TACHIBANA SCREM meme 10:27
Blade has recieved a happy ending if you consider the blade arc in zi-o canon. I'm glad it was hajime's purpose that saved him in the end, Ayame. Although ayame herself isn't the best character, it is the fact it was her that freed both kenzaki and hajime from the battle fight using the power of Another Blade that made it nice. If you liked blade, check out episodes 29 and 30 (I believe) of zi-o if you are interested.
Every rider story in zio is Canon. The royal battle in blade series never ended. Only by defeating the joker undead the battle will end
nah, i never accept blade ending in zio are canon.
toei already release a novel about a kenzaki 300 years in the future.
its make final scene of hajime and kenzaki in blade series wasted.
what make blade ending powerful are the last scene when kenzaki give up his humanity.
i didnt like a story that have multiple canon.
Finished Blade and Faiz tonight. While Faiz sucked, I didn’t remember much of Blade except for the first trial undead. But I recently rewatched the series, and it’s become one of my favorite rider series of all time.
Kenzaki and Hajime’s friendship in the series was so good in the show and the *bench*
32:33 So the finale of this show takes place before In Space's finale, Countdown to Destruction?
Speaking of Power Rangers, any one else getting a Trent from Dino Thunder vibe from Mutski's intro arc?
Seeing as both shows were made a few months apart from each other, top dollar coincidence. That or Doug Sloan and Toshiko Inoue must have some bizarre ESP even if they never met
thanks mahn.. i was really waiting
28:50 for ULTRA SEVEN
I feel bad for mostly remembering Blade for its incredible ending and MEMES around it...
But boi, did it give me lots and lots of laughs.
The memes are really well spread in Japan and China, even still popular today.
Oh, and the opening, both of them, it just clicks with me I guess.
Tho I am guessing what Round Zero clicks with me is also what Next Level clicks with me.
It is that weird quirkness how fitting they were both rythm wise and lyric wise to the show.
But you do have a different opinion on Next Level so who knows.
Finally!!! I've been waiting for Blade's history!!!
Last part is a huge thumbs up. Same sentiments. I dont remember much about the series since I watched when I was young and I cared about was the fight scenes, bad cgi, and the awesome suits. However, the end really stuck to me until now.
Great video! Hope to expect more
Well... about not seeing Kenzaki again... Zi-O says hi
Kenzaki turned super Sayian in jack form.
Blade's ending hits super fucking hard...
40:44 This song just makes it hurt even more...
YES ANOTHER HISTORY OF KAMEN RIDER!
God I want to see the ending of Blade now. I never watched the Heisei series besides Den-O and Kiva, and even then I only finished Den O because the episodes were on TH-cam once upon a time.
Seeing your videos helps me get an idea of the series since finding the time and motivation to watch 50+ episode series is kinda difficult but damn does it make me wanna see the ones you did a history of (except drive I just gotta finish it)
Can’t wait for when, or if, you do Kabuto and Hibiki! I know this kind of project takes a hell of a lot of work and time but thank you so much for doing this!
blade is alot of fun, it has this sakura card captor feeling. and that ending is THE ending to any rider series.
@@marcosdheleno blade base form suit is my favourite because I like the blue and silver
from the base forms of blade,i like Chalice the best, but overall, in an all riders comparisson, i dont think i can pick one as my favorite, but possibly either 555's, hibiki or black maybe even wizard. if we count non main, than thebee, ouja and kaixa are probably on the top.
and yeah, i cant really choose a true favorite among those, they all look just too awersome for me to pick "the one".
On TH-cam, were they illegal.
I haven't seen all of the other Kamen Rider series, but I doubt any of them can ever top this fantastic finale.
Thanks, really help me finding what i look for, nice channel !
Hands down the best season finale in Kamen Rider
I'm quite disappointed about how kamen rider series is not popular in the west.Sure it's obviously for kids but the dark theme and complex story is what make this series special.Just look at KR Blade,heck I wonder what would that be if Kamen Rider got it's own netflix show.
Is this face of happiness? you can blame Saban for that the 1995 show Masked Rider was basically a hugely fucked up miscarriage of Kamen Rider Black RX which pissed off Ishinamori so much that he himself forbade Saban from ever touching Kamen Rider again which is kind of a shame considering how serious certain seasons of power rangers got (light speed rescue and time force come to mind) I think they might've been able to pull off certain Heisei era Riders but at the same time I'm kind of happy because I wouldn't trust them not to screw it up
technodude458 lamented rider dragon knight I think gave them hope.though the show failed miserably here in the states it was a smash hit in japan,so much they made a sequel novel over there.an article around that time had said toei “would like to try Karen rider again one day in the west.if pr does well under hasbro they may ask them to work on it since it technically won’t be under Saban anymore
netflix? ugh no
i dont want another "original" adaptation.
Amazons?
I forgot how weird & sad the ending of blade was
it Is actually funny because the reason why I like blade is because the rider girl version for it Is so good, Especially the one representing the last episode And really happy 19 YEAR after the original series, Garren Finally got his King form!!
Dude when you said "It's difficult to like someone who has one worries." right when Kotaro does I felt you were dubbing him. 😄
what's with secondary rider and their dead GF?
Girls, if a guy asked you out, make sure he's not a side kick Rider.
Hahaha
Well we have accel
@@viscounttv7342 he's the exception.
Rule in rider world: never date with the second rider unless he a police officer or friend with one(example:Accel and Mach)
Kamen Rider 555 and Blade are the best instalments in the Heisei Era hands down.
Adding this to the list of toku I need to watch.... I think this is number 25 or something
And that is why we like the Missing Ace Ending than the TV Series, dont get us wrong the TV ending is great, its just the movie is more Fair to all characters
#Bladediditfirst. But in all seriousness great video! You really improved over the past couple of months!
*screams in pain*
Parents dying in a fire is such a tiring trope.
I so agree! I still cry to this ending till this day!
Kamen Rider is definitely one of my favorite, along with W, OOO, and Decade. :-)
There's a wrap up to this season in Kamen Rider Zi-O, which I think is a beautiful ending to this season.
Leangle is my favorite too. This was the show that made me a Kamen Rider fan, I love it
while im a blade type of guy, im in the same boat as you, as this was the series that made me a rider fan.
Yay!!!!! (And I can’t spam it enough times to get it to go over a million !’s.) Blade!!!!! It’s one of my top 5 Kamen Rider seasons and I just love the concept of using playing cards. It can’t get much better than this!!! Scratch that. You could add the concepts of yin and yang to the fact that the Undead can’t die. But otherwise, I just absolutely love this show. And it’s good timing too for this video because I’m watching this on October 23rd and my birthday is literally tomorrow. Let this season stand on top for all time!!!
I do have to bring up one complaint I have with Chalice. Even though he's my favorite Rider of the season, its revealed that his Chalice form is actually the Mantis Undead. But um, theres only one problem, Chalice looks too much like a Kamen Rider to be an Undead. This shares a similar problem with Kamen Rider Amazons where the riders simply just look too Rider like to be the very creatures that they're fighting. Though at least with the Amazon Riders the belts they used made them look the way they did, so it made more sense for why they look more like riders then the Amazons. With Chalice however, this is what the Mantis Undead officially looks like, so he really has no excuse.
Not to mention that the Joker Undead has the *Chalice rouser* instead of the the Joker rouser. It's almost like Chalice was just the default cannon fodder for Joker and the other Undead
Great video. You should do one on gokaiger next
